Chocolate Fudge Easter Cakes
Makes 16
Ingredients
140g soft butter
140g golden caster sugar
3 medium eggs
100g self-raising flour
25g cocoa, sifted
For the frosting:
85g milk chocolate, broken
85g soft butter
140g icing sugar, sifted
Foil-wrapped chocolate eggs
Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5 and put 16 gold cases into a fairy-cake tin. Tip all the ingredients for the cake into a mixing bowl and beat for 2 mins with an electric hand-whisk until smooth. Divide between the cases so they are two-thirds filled, then bake for 12-15 mins until risen. Cool on a wire rack.
For the frosting, microwave the chocolate on high for 1 min. Cream the butter and sugar together, then beat in the melted chocolate. Spread on the cakes and decorate with the foil-wrapped chocolate eggs.

These cakes look so cute, I am thinking of doing something similar tonight!
Snap! But I made them in to baskets. And I melted the choc over water as I had a big accident doing it in the microwave.

Happy Cook, I've lost my baking mojo since Easter and have been busy lately. My cat Ollie is doing fine and everyday his with us is a blessing. I'm hoping to do some blogging next week! Take care and thanks so much for thinking about me and Ollie.
